 Hey, what's up guys, so today I have another gimbal to review. I've done a lot of gimbal reviews in the past So what I'm going to do is add this to a playlist of all the gimbals and I'll leave that in the description below So today I've got this brand new gimbal. It's just come out. It's called the smart XR Now this is from a company called Alchuan. I think I'm pronouncing that correctly. It's brand new It is made in China. It's a three-axis pocket sized gimbal And I'm going to be giving you a full unboxing a setup of all the different functionalities and specs That this thing has and then also show you a lot of sample footage of the capabilities of this gimbal So the video might be quite long go ahead and look at the chapters in the timeline and in the description as well So you can scrub through and go to the relevant ones if you'd like Otherwise, let's go ahead do all of the stuff and let's get straight into it So it's a very nice clean box. You can see the tagline is just love You've got some highlights of the specs there. Let's go ahead and open this up Okay, so you have yourself a user guide you have yourself the gimbal there as well. Let's take a look at that Very nice design very clean Let's take that out I'll show you that in a second You also have a USB-C charging cable now This is a 32 milliamp hour battery inside that which gives you roughly run eight hours of runtime, which I think is awesome You also have a strap as well if you wanted to connect that to the gimbal and carry it in your wrist And then you also have the tripod legs as well So I'm gonna put this on move all of this stuff out the way There's one other thing that gets sent with this gimbal as well, which I didn't expect which is a very nice touch It's this thing here. Let me go ahead and open this Now this is a rod From a company called Pergir now I'll leave a link in the description below of where you can buy this gimbal from Pergir as well It's eighty nine dollars and it's eighty nine pounds on Amazon. So all of the relevant links, but this essentially is A selfie stick that you can attach to the actual gimbal now That's very unique. You don't get this with a lot of gimbals You have to buy this separately So you see it has a sort of quarter inch screw there at the top that you connect to the bottom of the gimbal And I will showcase some examples of that as well. So these are all the things that come in the box So what I'm gonna do is give you guys an overview of the different features that come on this tiny little pocket gimbal It is very lightweight. It's only 370 grams and it does have a payload of just 240 grams as well Which will work for most smartphones. So let me go ahead and set this up and show you guys what this can do Alright guys, let's connect the tripod Snap this open There we go And then you have to twist this Now let me put my phone on top Turn on the gimbal There we have it Okay, so let's take a look at some of the buttons and ports that come on the gimbal Okay, so just on the right hand side you have yourself the USB-C port like I mentioned It is USB-C charging gives you eight hours of battery life on the front. You have a few options So you have the power on button there You just hold that down for a few seconds to turn it on You have a mode button and then you have a shoot button for your pictures and videos as usual You'll have a joystick this doubles up as a multifunction button as well to switch through the different modes And I'll showcase that in a second. You have yourself the zoom control here So wide and telephoto and this is something unique You never really get this on a lot of smartphone gimbals, especially small ones of this size This is the focus wheel so you can adjust this and change the manual focus accordingly through the app And I will run through the app in a second One other thing that you can't see at the moment. Let me just turn this off So inside the smartphone mount you can see there's a micro USB port right inside there Now this allows you to charge your phone whilst in use So if you have a USB-C Android phone for example, you'll need to get a micro USB to a USB-C cable to charge it through Alright guys, so let's talk about this joystick here to change the different modes So obviously you can use a joystick to change the direction of the actual Gimbal as well up down left right standard Now if you do press this you can see on here the mode will change So you have an LED display there PF is currently pan follow mode If you press it once you'll see it changes to F, which is full follow You press it again, which goes to L which is locks mode And you press and one more time and is POV which is point of view So it will follow you in any different direction that you move the gimbal Now those are the single clicks you double click it will recenter the gimbal, which I think is very convenient If you triple click You'll see that it goes into dm mode, which is basically inception mode and the gimbal itself has started to move In an inception format So if you are recording then this will rotate the phone and give you that really cool inception mode And once it's finished it will go back to center mode itself like so So I think that's really convenient to get really quickly into inception mode if you find that opportunity And the last thing is if you hold this down for a few seconds You'll see it changes to go mode But you'll have to hold it down and this basically allows you to capture very fast Transitions or quick movements in any direction So if you're example looking at some sports or maybe a football game of your race car track For example, you want to see cars go by really quickly Then this will allow you to record very quick transitions from left to right by holding this down And this is called mad dog mode and it's displayed as go. So once you let go It goes back to the standard default mode you was on last which would be pan follow in my case So that's everything you can do with this joystick and I think that's a really cool thing to have There's also a lot of different modes that you can access through the app Now, let me go ahead and talk to you through the different functionalities of that. Okay guys So the app that you need to download is called ac play I'll leave a link in the description below of where you can download that So it comes up It connects to smart xr. You'll detect it. You click yes to connect And there you are you are connected So let me quickly run through some of the different functionalities of the actual app on the right hand side You can cycle between the different modes. So it's on photo. You can move to video mode time lapse mode You have panorama And you have something called smart sheet which is basically a different type of really cool modes Inception being the first one on the list You move to the dolly zoom which obviously you guys are aware of And then the last one here is motion film which allows the gimbal to pan In a nice smooth and slow manner And i'll be showcasing examples of each of these different modes as well In panorama mode, you have the option to switch between 180 330 degrees three by three and three by five Photo you have plenty of options here on the left hand side there in the middle You have the option to add beauty modes if you wanted to Display people with a brighter skin or a smoother skin But then you have tons of different filter options here which i think is my favorite These are the most extensive filter options i've seen on any gimbal app Now there's a lot here that will be listed in chinese but by all means just go through them So as you can see here I think these ones are really cool. They really make the picture stand out And i will be showcasing some examples of different filtered videos as well in my sample section later on in this video So here's a whole bunch of things that i may use And there's so many options. I really can't pick which is the best one But for me, it's the number one list of filters in any gimbal app Video options you can change here the resolutions as well Now this records from 4k 1080 or 720p up to a maximum of 30 frames per second So you don't have the 60 frames per second on this and then you also have time lapse mode Which you guys are also aware of and lastly there's this thing here called a finger gesture So if i select this you have to give two fingers up like a peace sign and it will automatically take a video So you can do that on both video and photo. Let me do that for the photo mode quickly to show you an example The finger gesture is turned on I'm going to give it a gesture As you see it's detected it and you give a five second countdown Okay guys, and the last thing is face tracking So all I need to do is turn on the face tracking and I have to select the face So i'm doing this in selfie mode as you can see it's picked it up. So as I move left and right It's doing a very good job following me. So if I go down And again, I will be showcasing an example of this as well outdoors So it's a really cool thing to have those are the majority of the functionalities of the app I'm very happy. So let's go ahead and showcase what this thing can do The last thing before I take this out is to show that this can switch to portrait mode So all you have to do is press the power button once and it will flip over to portrait mode like so See it's so easy. It's very quick and convenient So I'm going to showcase some examples of shooting in landscape and in portrait as well Just to give you guys a comparison. So every mode that I've just talked about I'm going to showcase a whole load of samples of photos videos panoramas All of the cool smart features as well like inception mode and dolly zoom Motion film lapse all this kind of stuff. It's going to be really cool I hope you guys enjoy it Make sure to look at the chapters below if you want to skip to specific ones And I'll give you guys a conclusion straight after All right guys, so there you have it. Now the amount of functionality that this smartphone gimbal comes with The fact that it's so light. It's so compact. It's small It has the types of features that you would expect in a DSLR or mirrorless gimbal Stabilizer those large ones those expensive ones all packed into this tiny thing I think it's just so awesome. And I'm going to be using this for a lot of my filming I really like the ability of using this focus wheel for close-up subjects to just get the perfect image for it I think there's so many things you can do with this The fact that it's one click operation for a lot of the stuff is even more convenient And I've had experience in the past with other gimbal apps Which have just sometimes failed to connect especially with android phones But this one was up and running straight away. It's very easy to connect and use the features So for me, it's a big thumbs up and it's only 89 pounds Which I think is an absolute bargain for the things that you get with this So hopefully you guys enjoy that I have tons more gimbal reviews coming out in the future This one specifically I'll have a link on where you can purchase that down below as well Make sure you check that out And if you did like this video make sure you hit that like button and make sure to subscribe I've got a playlist of all my previous gimbal videos as well so you can check those out And I'm pretty sure you're going to like all the new gimbal reviews I'm going to be doing in the near future as well So if there's anything else you'd like to know about this or if you'd like me to test out any other specific gimbals Again, drop a comment.
